Join the Movement at UC Berkeley
The Chris Kindness Award is made possible by a student-led volunteer club at UC Berkeley. From organizing nominations and coordinating outreach to planning events and celebrating our winners, everything you see here is powered by students who care about building a stronger, kinder community. If you’re a Berkeley student who wants to make a real impact, we’d love to have you involved.
